NMR spectroscopy has been applied to cells and tissues analysis since its beginnings, as
early as 1950. We have attempted to gather here in a didactic fashion the broad diversity of …

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) regulates the transfer of solutes and essential nutrients into
the brain. Growing evidence supports BBB dysfunction in a range of acute and chronic brain …

The bulk magnetic susceptibility (BMS) shift of a nuclear resonance frequency caused by a
paramagnetic compound is of importance in in vivo NMR, both magnetic resonance …

Abstract Manganese ion (Mn2+) is an essential metal that participates as a cofactor in a
number of critical biological functions, such as electron transport, detoxification of free …
